Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action DLL giving me 1723 ...

[Wilson, Phil]

If this a C++ Dll (and it sure sounds like it) you might be missing the debug versions of the support Dlls on your target system.

None of the "old" CA's worked from an installation (but work when called from a 'normal' application). I've continued to test and found out that the 'Release'build works but not the 'Debug'build, so I believe there's something about my debug-stuff that mess things up.   My guess is that the 'MSI46.tmp'-file is the DLL, and then it should be +280kb ...   /Jonas From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: den 2 oktober 2006 17:00 To: Jonas Jonsson L (AL/EAB) Cc: WiX Listan Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action DLL giving me 1723 ...

If so, I'd start with the basics: making sure the new function is exported, has the right signature, etc. Then add a MessageBox or logging as the first thing in the function so you know whether it's starting at all. Is there anything special with regards to using netapi32.lib in installations (I'm using the NetLocalGroupAdd()-function)?  There shouldn't be any. The DLL is just as usual in the Binary table of the msi-file.  In the line above (from the install.log-file), the library referenced (C:\WINNT\Installer\MSI46.tmp), has the size of 5112 bytes on disk during execution of the installation.  What's the purpose of that file? MSI extracts the DLL from the Binary table to a secure location before running it. Is that the expected size? -- sig://boB http://bobs.org
